Can't afford a good rain suit so I just strip down to a speedo and coat my bod with light axle greaseStraydog said:What are your recommendations for good rain gear? HD, FirstGear, Tourmaster, ???? One piece, two piece, ????
I am a sea kayaker and I am always alert for uses of my kayak gear for motorcycling. The problem with using paddle jackets for rainwear is that they typically don't fit over your leather jacket and other clothes. NRS makes a jacket designed to fit over your PFD. That kind of product might have good applicability. I considered it but when I got a good deal on the HD GoreTex I decided to go in that direction. I got higher visibility with the HD.shrike96 said:I use stuff that is made for kayaking. Has a nice neprene seal at the neck, no drippies, and the ankles and wrists are neprene as well. They breathe well and are wind and water proof. Got the jacket in orange so i'm visable in the mist. Works greta for me, got them at a outdoor store for about 1/2 of the HD stuff.

I bought a pair of Toggs about 4-5 years ago, when they first came out. My experience with them is they work great but the crotch still gets soaked.

Some of those rain suits by the non-MOCO manufacturers are real nice suits and very reasonable in price. I have never understood why they could not sew some Nomex onto the legs to improve their product and make it suitable to the purpose. Go figure.cwo2lt said:I've got a set of Dry Rider, 2 piece. Had it for must be 15 yrs now. I burned the pant leg a few yrs back and had to replace it but bad for $30.
Damn... how come I didn't think of that!!!cwo2lt said:Yes but then it would have cost more than $30.
